The Hidden Menace in Vivaldi's Most Famous Melody

Sound familiar? Handel wrote the original Passacaglia in 1720, the final movement of his Suite in G minor for harpsichord.

It's been performed in concert halls, films, and services for over three hundred years. Where did you first hear it? A movie, a wedding, a service, a recital?
